    That does not look bad. Old bottom fan leaves normally dry up and die off as the plant matures in flowering stage. If the top leaves are drying and curling up then it is a sign of broad mites. You do NOT want broad mites. I do not see any signs on them on your plant though. Just pull off the fan leaves as they yellow and fade.

    one of them is connected to a branch that gets light and have buds on it which got me worried - i might have white flies what can i do against them?

    neem oil wont do it because i don't wish to ruin my buds

    Never before heard of birds attacking cannabis, but I guess it's not impossible. 

    Sparrows?  Unlikely, except if they wanted to eat the seeds, but your plants arent so far along yet.

     

    Now ducks or geese or chickens, that's a different matter.  I imagine those birds could easily make short work of a cannabis plant.

     

    By the way, an autoflower is not disturbed by removing lower leaves.  In fact, the removal of lower leaves and shaded, unproductive lower branches excites the plant to increase growth and production in the upper regions.

     

    What autoflower plants don't like is the topping of the growth tips. 

    Because the autoflower plant has a limited lifespan, it has relatively little time to recover from a topping session to produce the new mature and productive colas.

    hi mate,

    the guy that said to prune the bottom of your plant is right. Watch the greenhouse videos. It gives better air circulation around the bottom of the plant, and helps to prevent insects crawling up the plant. The main reason I do it is as the guy said these buds get little light, and by pruning them, all the growth goes to top, where there is more intense light.    opps, I am an indoor grower, that does not apply to you as you grow outside, but I think it is still a good idea.

    Here people put a netting over their plants to prevent fruit bats and other birds from getting to their fruit.  

    your plant looks very happy; yield depends a lot on strain. most autos yield between 60 grams and up.

    all the best,

    john

    hi LeoGetz,

      Your plants are looking very happy. fish emulsion and sea weed are good organic nutrients. The plants love fish emulsion.

    happy harvest, my friend.

    I have never used NPK or artificial fertilizers before. The dosage manual says 0.3% for foliar usage and 0.1% for fertigation, but the overall amount per season max 300kg per hectare. When converted to square meters that is 30g/sq meter, which is a negligible amount and would not make a significant difference.

    i pruned 2 llil branches the the buttom which i should cut 2?

     

    and how many yield am i gonna get according to the bud sites and everything?

    i pruned the buttom 2 branches that were only leaves and kept the upper brachnches because they grow out right from the sun ( very long so they get sun as well ) [ OUTDOOR MIRACLE !]

    gave it a nice dose of fretlizer and ill update pictures when im not high!

     

    any way my plant is the shit!

    i dont think ill get a cage or a net because since then there is no problems!

    it began flowering and it starting to look good! i give it fretlizer every watering but i cut it a bit

     

    i put inside 1.5l fret for 1l because its autoflowering but i have no idea what week to give and which amount !

     

    ill upload the chart and pictures so you could tell me please?

    You need to cut of those bottom leafs and branches and add more soil, cus they wont yield much anyway but can cause the entire plant to grow moldy. Top buds will compensate the loss. And spray those bugs, if you dont have Neem oil, boil chilly peppers and use the liquid, garlic water, make ness cafe 1g/l. It could give 100 grams maybe more. 

    its autoflower so i understood that its not advised to touch it because it will stress out ! and now it began flowering i want it to do it fast and good!

     

    why would i need more soil? the roots wont go up right?

     

    and i dont think its bugs i think its birds! what can i do against them


  7. hey guys - my plant going on well and i just gave him pk-13-14 for the first time so he will start flowering ( i dont want it to get any bigger ) ive seen a lil preflower and i gave it just a lil amount

     

    and some mean creature been eating my plant - how do i keep this from happening? im growing in the last floor not on the ground - plus a leaf fell and i felt really bad about it

    plus the lower ones started to yellow -

     

    thank you guys for the help!

    second question is how many grams do you think this plant will give out?

    No. You need a light bulb with ballast for that. I use this one for germination and its around 5 Euros along with ballast transformer. Mercury  125W, 6300 Lumens and thats barely enough for one mature plant, plus ventilation, but it would benefit in your case.

    I killed the small one and the big one is doing great! has like 8 leaves and i tore the small plant flushed the soil and put in another seed directly in the pot - where should i store it? inside?

    That could be semi outdoor if you have a lamp to use it during nighs and cloudy days. In the previous post I was referring to plants that have been germinated under lamps and have to be transplanted to the permanent medium in the ground outside.

    would normal light i use around the house would work because i cant spend alot on a lamp

    I've one behind too, don't kill it off it could end up having the biggest yields of all your plants..... some plants that go through stress bounce back even stronger?

    You can see plant 3 in my grow had some seed casing problems that deformed the first set of feeder leafs and its a good bit behind now, if your worried about it not catching up with the others then you can top your bigger plants and let the little one catch up?

About us

Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
